When Does Your Business Need GST Registration?
Turnover is only part of the answer. Some businesses must register under GST from their very first sale.
Business Registration
Register under GST to collect tax, claim input credit and sell across states.
Overview
GST registration gives your business a 15-digit GSTIN. It lets you collect GST from customers, claim input tax credit on your purchases, and appear as a registered supplier to buyers and marketplaces.
Registration is mandatory once your aggregate turnover crosses the applicable threshold, and in several situations regardless of turnover — such as inter-state supply of goods or selling goods through e-commerce operators. Thresholds differ for goods and services and for some states.
Once registered, you must file returns regularly, even for periods with no sales. Choosing the right registration type — regular or composition — at the start matters for how you invoice and file.
Who is this for?
Businesses crossing the GST threshold or needing a GSTIN to work with buyers and platforms.
